MISCELLANY.
From the St, Louis lievelle,
SWALLOWING OYSTERS ALIVE.
Sucker— llis first Oyster Swal.owing Alive
Terrill". Situation—The Ftscue—JJisoj'ptarunce,
At a late hour, the other night, tie door of an oys
ter liouac in ooi city won thrust open, and in stalked a
hero from tile Sucker Slate, lie tvas tprile six feet
high, spare, somewhat stooped, with a hungry, anx
ious countenance, ami his hands pushed char down to
the bottom 111 his Intel cs p ckels. — llis outer eon-r
----ing was hard lo dt fine, hut alter surveying it minutely
we came to the conclusion, that his suit had been made
in bia boyhood, ol a dingey, yellow limey woolsey,
and that, having sprouted up w till astonishing tepidity,
he had bten funed to piece it out wiih all cohos, in
older lo keep pace with Ills body. In spile of his ex
ritions, however, he had fallen to arrears about a foot ‘
of the necessary h ngth, and, cnii.rquemly stuck that j
far through Ins inexpressible*. His crop of hair was
surmountid by the lunmesl little skin imaginable.—
After taking a position, he indulg- and in stare at
the man opining lue bivalves, and —
• Isters 1
* Yes, sir,'rei ponded the attentive operator —• and
fine ones, they ore, too.’
* Well, I've In an! tell of Isters af re,’ nays lip, but (
this is the lust lime I've serd ’em sod prihtips I'll
know wiiat ti'iur umdo of afote I get out of town,’
Having t xpu-ssed litis desperate intention, he cau
tiously approached a plate, and scrutinized the unease.l
shell fi-h with a gravity and interest which would
have done honor to the most illustrious searcher into
the hidden mysteries of nature. At length he began
to soliloquize on the diflirulty of getting them out.
and how queer they looked w hen out.
* I never aetd any thin’ hold on so— lakes sn ami
z;n’ site ol screwin', hot., to g.-t'em out, amt they
slick and slip'ry when they docs come 1 Smooth as
an eel ! I've a good mind to gie that feller lodgina,
jest to realiza the edicts, asumleJesa used to say
about speckclalion.’
* Well, sir. iva* die trply, ‘down w.tU two bits,
and you can have a dozen.’
* Two hits!’ exclaimed the Sucker, - now, come,
that's slickin’it on right strong, boss, for isters. A
dozen on ’em ain't nothin’ to a chicken, and Ihete's
no gibin’ more'n a picayune a piece for them. I’ve
on y realized forty-Gye picayunes on rny first venlur’
to St. Louis. I II till you what. I’ll gin you two chick
ens fur a dozen, if you’ll conclude to deal.’
A wng, who wa6 standing by indulging in a dozen,
•vinked to the attendant to shell out, anU the offai was
ecccp led.
* Now mind,’ repeated the Sucker, all fair—two
chickens lor a dozen—you’re witness mister,’ tnrning
at the tame lime lo the wug ; * none of your trick.;
for 1 ve hern tell that you city fti.era aie mity slip’ry
coons.’
Jho ba-gnin being faoJv unjarstnnj. oor Sucker
squared btmaelf lor the onset —deliberately pulled oil
his seal skin cap, tucked up his sleeves, and folk in
hand, welled the appearance of No. I. It rsiue—he
saw—aud quiikly it was bolted ! A moment’s dread
ful pause cu6U"d. The wag Jiopp.il his knife and
fork with a look of amszeairnt aud horror—something
akin to bhakespear’a Hamlet on seeing his daddy's
ghost,— while he hurst into the ezclsmstion—
* Swallowed uliit, as I ni a Christian.’
Our Sucker hero had opened hit moulh with pleas
ure a moment before, hut now it s/ootf open. Fear—a
horrid dread of he did'nt know what—a ronaeioanifs
that all was’nt right, and ignorance of the extent of the
wrong—ihc uncertainty ol that moment was taiiible. j
Urged to desperation he faltered out—
* What on airth's the low V
* Did you swallow it alive /’ inquired the man.
* I swallowed it jest as he gin it lo me !’ shouted
the Sucker.
* You're a dead man !’ exclaimed his anxious frirnd
• the creature is alite, and will eat right through you,’
added he, in a moat hopeless lone.
* Get a piz.-n pump and putcu it out !’ screamed
the Sucker, in a fienzy, Ilia eye. fairly slatting from
their soiksis. Oh gracious!'—what'll I do’—lt's
got bold of my innards alit-aJy. aud I’m dead as a !
chicken, —do somethin’ for me, do—don't let the in
farnal sea toad eat me afore your eyea.’
* Why don’t you put some of this on it 1 inquired
the wag, pointing to a bottle of strong popper sauce.
The hint was enough—the Sucker, upon the in
stant. sciz ng the bottle aud, desperately wrenching out
the cork, swallowed half the contents st t draught. He
fairly squalled from its efforts, and gasped and blowtd,
aud pitched and twisted, as if it were coursing through j
him with electric effect, while at the same time In. |
eyes lan a stream of tears. At leogth becoming > lit-1
tie more composed, his waggish adviser approached,
almost bursting with suppressed laughter, and en
quired—
••How are you now, my old fellow—did you
kill it’’
‘ Well, ,1 did. hose,’—ugh-ugh-o-o-o my innards.
If that ister criliei'a dyin’ agonies did’nt stir n ruction
in me tqual to a •malt eaiihqiiske, then taint no use in
savin’ H—it squimud likes .arpi-ni when that killin’
stuff touched it ; Au/,-—and hen* with a countenance
rns.le up of suppressed agony and determination, he
paused as if In give loree lo his wools, and slowly and
deliberately remarked—‘lf yon get two chickens for
nje for that live animal I’in blowed !’ and se.zing lii*
seal skin he vanished.
The shout of laughter, and the contortions of the
company at this tinsle, would have made a spxtatoi

The President, the Secretary of Btre. and the Tex

Ihev are the enemies of every tiling National. If
ihev thus tl etch out this Union and invite its thin

suits clinked by the withdrawal of laborers oi the ru
in of manufactures under a free Unde policy ; and the
weight of taxation in the .Slates thus improved will
act as a Irrsh cause of inigialion.
Tnesc, however, are arguments of our own: let u*
rather return to those of others, which we net out with,
J hf'se gentlemen reason, ns if, to agrandize a coun
try, you have but to add to its enormous wilds fre.lt
ones as vast, and as if to disperse a people and con
found their tongues, an God did in hot vvraili to (he
pienuinpiu- us race on Shinar, were s blc.ning iustrad
of a iure. In this manner they talk, srctionally,
agai st section*! feejings, in a miller notoriously
meant lo strengthen one section at the expense ol an
other; and, while dilating against local feelings and
local inle.eets, aim to multiply both, hy including
within our limits legions ol anew noil and climate,
people partly ol hostile race, and language and faith,
and partly emigrants from out own, who, in the mere
wantonri.ss ol self-expatriation, have preferred the
wilderness of a foreign country to the *u*l snJ fertile
wilds of our own.
They .peak much also of the moneyed value of the
I exa* lands—forgetiiug or omitting (•> notice the fact
that, first, those land* have probably nlrea !y, for eveiy
acre, t-vu claim* at ha.t, under lilies a* lawful as any

ertheless he brought hy the adventurers and sptcula
tois who huid them, into market against our own. and
iliue ruin the eale of our own present public domain ;
iourlnly, ihat we shall thus have to pay the debts of
i'ixas (if ever paid) Lorn a diminished public in
come, aud perhaps lu lax lands at home lo pay them ;
and, fildily, that those veiy lands, over all the rest ol j
the Union, must he sunk greatly in value by the mi- j
gralion from them that is to ensue.
They insist, a iso, that Texas is lo afiorJ a gieut j
market for American manufactures; but they have j
not thus tar explained how this is io happen, The 1
present com uuiers in Texas, it they can smuggle En- j
gl.sh goods, cal) probably smuggle American ones ulso. j
lu number, they ccilattily aie not two bundled thou- I
sat'd i so that their present consumption of goods is
probably nut greater than that ol i.noJe Island or Del- !

have to l*e peopled from our soil chiefly ; so that aitci
all, the mam difference to the manufacturer will he,
that of tilling to men in Texas what ha now sella to
them in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South
Catultna, Georgia, &c.
Such tre the mam aspects of the questions, as thus
far presented, in the view of profit —evidently felt to
tie the main one—the inual convincing, bcc*uae the
must seductive ; all other urgunieul. in support ol the
eipedtiucy ul aunixilton being muted substantially
given up.
Ou me ground of right, the reasoning is tqually
cogeul and consistent. First, they have argurtf tlist i
f i-xas is independent; wntcu, it we uudersiaud the I
woul, means that she has no need of auy Oofy Ur light
her balm-., maintain her right., or pay her deb s. Ue
ig independent (.ay they) she t. soveieigu ; but we,
it appeals, cal), by a joint resolution, extinguish what:
is lueihiiguishabie, alienate what is inalienable,defeat
whal is tudeleasiblt, priacribe what is imprescriptible,
anil tutu her into a dependency, a territory. Nuy lt tj
appears that she is but a lertwory ot oors, after „p 1
though in 1604 we expressfy derided for ourselves,
law, under toe Administration making the siquisil jull
ot iiouiMana, that she wa. no part id it; though
our subsequent acts, up to 1616, avowed the fact again
aud again; though we never set up any but a diplomat- j
tc claim, solemnly abandoned at the clo.c of t|, e nt .. !
guitahuu with Spain, lur an equivalent, now in o ur I
pos.tssion ; though ever since 1824 we have, by re
peated osiers to purchase n merely, recognized all the
rights ol others anulhe absence of auy on our part;
though we confirmed to Mexico, in 1862, our original
abandonment of it; though in 1867 we aikuowletiged
Us independence; though we have now a legation !
there; and though we ssy we are at peace with Mexi
co, while she is making war upou our lertitmy ol
Texas.
Hut all this argument of annexation ban, at least, a
most honorable source—a great tenderness for the na
tional i.unor—an invincible attachment to the faith and
saucli y of treaties—no, we beg pardon, of a single
treaty. The gentlemen select, for all this jealous fi
delity, lbs utter uncertainty (as it is at best) of the
tieaiy of 18U3 with I-ranee, tor Louisiana*, and, upon
a levived claim under that, though so often cancelled
I l-y uur solemn, voluntary, and certain tcls, they eiect
j loi us an obligation towards the people of Texas to
i admit them into our Union. Thus, lor a single most
ambiguous engagement towarjs people not then in
ciisii-ncc, and who havu only got to Texas liy enter
ing into opposite engagements lo another Powet, we
aie lo hrea , through extreme good faith, all other trea
tus, however direct, however explicit, hovtcvet re
posed,
Such aie the chief grounds taken, under plea of na
tional I uv. Those of constitution)! law are tqually
| remai.ablc. In this pait ol the business it is, of
cause, the strict construct.onis s, the liti-tali.is, the
! Jeff-isonisn abstractionists, who figure the uiost no
! tuhly.
At ceitain hours, through all the Mahomedan eoun
! trie., the volants of the Prophet, no matter where
j they are or how they may be employed, are hound to
lace, as well as they ran. toward, tils tomb, (the K ta
hi,) drop un their knees, and put up a prayer. Hot,
as few asttanenieta t an h II the t xai l direction, and the
j men of a:icnce are the least p.uticuUr about the place
where the prophet ties, it happen* that no two .Mos
lem,t. a look the same way to send their vows to the
sepulchre, and that many turn tin ir backs precisely
1 upon it. Such, ueaily,t> what has happened ihrough
uttl Ihe search of the faithful for the constitutional
| authority to annex Texts. Many of them turn st
, once lo the prov sum of the Constitution allowing the
j tdn.is.ion of new States: hut there, unluckily, they
art met ol once by the decisive authoiity of their pro
phet himsrll, who avers, unequivocally, in his letter to
Mr. Ifnck- midge, that there is in the Conslituiion no
authority whatever fur incorporating a foreign leiuto
ty. The disciple who claims to uveilhrow his mas er
is, of course, ill-advised. Others, then fore, shunning
that direct snuggle, appeal to piecedent; hut forget,
w hen llity do so, that thcie an- more piecedent. for a
Hank ol the Lulled States, or for internal improve-
Blent, or for protection of tiitnufacluirs, or for many
other thing, which they dispute, than for annexation.
Olheis declare that the power us aiquuing terrilory i*
an inherent faculty of all soveu igniy lor getting that
they themselves liaveothn maintained, or (belt doc
tors for them, that the Ftdeial Government is only an
.gent of sovereignties, and Ihat. at best, it is a sover
eignly limited te express powers. Another sort trier
the constitutional power lo that of making wit; for

Ol tho other subjects which have occupied the at

’I hat which has in the Senate attracted most atten

ral years ago, from an enlightened and benevolent
English man. Tho knot of this que*lino in, in uliut -
*i y can the intention ol the donor to dilluM knowl

Library, t be open to all ihe w* rid. with *uch adjunct

visable. The subject has, the present,
been recommitted to the Senate's committee, who, we
trust, will h on report it back; for the fund bequeath
‘ ed by Smithson has been already too long diverted
from its legal use, und it concerns the national chaiac
ter that it receive its right appropriation before the
close of the present session of Congress.
In the House of Repiesentatives, the several appro-

If to tlic voles in the negative iw added those of Ihe
three presenting Bishops, viz : Bishop Meade of Vir

of Georgia—who, from the fact of consenting to pre
sent Bishop Oiideidouk, must be assumed to have be
lieved him guilty, but who. as presenters, had no vote
on the question of guilt or innocence—it makes an ar
ray of 14 to 6, of the House of Bishops, against their
delinquent brother.
Yeslerday ihe Court assembled to pass sentence.
The Court refused to depose the Bi-hop, hut determin
ed to su-pend him by a vote of 9 lo 8 ; the five Bish
ojis in the minority voting for suapen-ion, and the 8
who voted against it doing so probably because they
weic in favor of the higher penalty.

A HORRIBLE MURDER.
We arc seldom called on to record a more cold
blooded and horrible murder than was perpetrated in
this city on Monday last, a notice of which appeared
in a portion of our edition yesrerday morning. About
half past eight o’clock on Monday evening, Mr. Fran
cis Non land, ttie proprietor of a tavern in Charles
street, between Pratt and Camden, announced that
the dead hn-Jy of a stranger had been found in a bod in
hiahuuse, and that it was supposed lie had commuted
suicide by cutting Lis throat. A. 11. Pennington, E-q.
was soon upon the spot, and after waiting until near
12 o'clock, proceeded to perform the duty vrl a coro
ner, and summoned und qualified a ju*y. About this
time. Coroner (sreenfield came in and took Iris place
as coronet. The jury then proceeded to the investiga
tion of the matter, calling to their aid a nredi al gen
tleman, whose name we now forget. An examination
nf the body convinced them tmmediu'cly that there
had not hrcn a suicide, but that most foul timider hi t
bii n done. The individual murdered was lying in a
bed in a room in the third story of ilu> house, null
hie throat cut. and completely saturated in his gore.—
it was also found (hut the tight ade of Ini head, dr
; ceclly over the eye, had been beaten in—his skull
, mashed —by some heavy instrument. Avery slight
search was rewarded with the production of un axe.
winch was found under the murdered man's bed. The
; coroner's jury having saitslied ihiin-uDes that the
man had bien murdered, proceedid lo investigate all
the citcunislancea attending hia appearance there.—
The landlord, M*. Now land, was called, ami testified
that about 11 o’* lock oil (Sunday l ight, at ihe time el
; the arrival ol tire Philadelphia cata. lie wa- in t *
j yard of Ihe depot—that lie w.*a there accost and fry v
I .err I man, the game who was murdered, who asked
him win re Ire r ould find a cheep Induing place, us lie
designed departing next nooning fin Norfolk. Mr.
N. offend Ins house as a convenient sand su'e place,
and thu offer was accepted. The gentleman wnn to
the house, ami hia trunk ami carpel hag were carried
10 the hou-e try the witness, assisted by Hmry McCur
ry, a hoarder in tire In ue. Alter remaining hy tlu*
•love some thiily minute*, the stranger, wilt* McUuny, *
went to bed —both in Ine Burnt- innin. The stiangi i's
trunk, site. was lell ill charge of the landlord, and was
kept 111 Ihe hat-room. F out the lime of his g. ii gto
bed. at hall past ll o'clock, on Sunday night, up tu !
lull pa-t light oil Monday night, nothing further was
•ren ol him. “I lie evidence of the landlaoy slid
irtheir, in these particulate, was generally alike, thr
landlord further slat* tl, that about 8 o'clock oil Monday
Morning, Mi Cutty made his appctrenc* in Ihe liar

lie said that he bail sn* n und gone out, sod destreil

o'clock 111 lire morning, one of lire taimly went to the
roont for the purpose ot linking up the beds. Imt found
11 locked. During ibeusy McL'utry went to Ins loom
two or tinee 1 1 inca, and also went out and bought a
small trunk, announcing bra intention of leaving the
city by the evening train lor Philadelphia. He did
depart in the cveuing train, hut left hrhmd a large
leather trunk, winch ire gave in special charge to tiro
landlord. After his departure tl was still found that
the room ire and the stranger had occupied was fuck
ed; a starch was made lor the key, hut it could not be
found. It Waathr ft a-err unin and that s key mischid to

knew the sliangi f's r ame, at J it therefore became
netesaary to examine the trunk lo sec if he had any
| apern by which he might be known. It may be well
enough here to slate, that nothing was found in any
of the poeketa of Ins coat, vest or pantaloons, which
were in the room. The stranger's trunk was then,
brought before the jury, hut out of about twenty keys,
nut one wav found to fit the lock, which was therefore
taken off b> fotce. The first thing which presented
itself was r* morocco pocket ill tire trunk, whirl) con
tained a number of | apers, letters, hills, receipts, &c,
proving that Ihe stranger was named Caul Itoux—
th *t he belonged lo the South* most probably Macon,
Georgia, and that lie vh. nit a hard-ware merchant, deal
ing. lo acimsidernl'le extent, with houses in New York.
Amorist the papers was found a certificate of member
strip ol the Cider of United Brothers; also. travel
ling card, stating that lie was a worthy member of the
OcmuLee eruiiinpmenl, No. 2, ol the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, in Macon. Bem-ath all tire
papers was found a l ey, and, singular to say. this key
exactly tilled the lock of the door of lira room in I
winch lie was found murdered. It winked as freely
in Ihe 10, k as if it had been made for il—it was ml

taint tl a variety nf wealing apparel, but no money.—
The trunk of McCutry vvaa then brought forward—
it w as not lor Led, and contained nothing some old
and dirty clothes, \c In it. h wrvrr, was found a
key, which, strange lo say, fitted tile lock if the
stranger's trunk exu, lly. The lock, too, is a peculiar
one, made hy Jones, of Newark, rind pt*ihu| s would
